Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 Urbanization and the expansion of human activities foster radical ecosystem changes with cascading effects also involving host‐pathogen interactions. Urban pollinator insects face several stressors related to landscape and local scale features such as green habitat loss, fragmentation and availability reduction of floral resources with unpredictable ...

Bumble bee colony health and performance vary widely across the urban ecosystem
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 10, Page 2135-2148, October 2022., 2022 Urbanization can affect species diversity. Yet, whether urbanization affects fitness remains largely neglected. This experiment using bumblebee colonies reveals strong relationships between temperature and landscape‐scale drivers and colony health, performance and reproductive success, suggesting that environmental heterogeneity within the urban ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 5, Page 999-1005, October 2021., 2021 1. The chemical defences of monarch butterflies involve two kinds of secondary plant metabolites: cardiac glycosides (CGs) that are obtained from larval hostplants, and pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) that are gathered by adults usually independent from feeding behaviour.

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020 The present study has documented, for the first time in Egypt, the natural occurrence of four entomopathogenic protozoans (EPP) among five of the most abundant and damaging insect pests of stored grains or their products. These insect pests (Laemophloeus

Positive‐Strand RNA Viruses Infecting the Red Imported Fire Ant, Solenopsis invicta
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 The imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta and S. richteri were introduced into the USA between 1918 and 1945. Since that time, they have expanded their USA range to include some 138 million hectares. Their introduction has had significant economic consequences with costs associated with damage and control efforts estimated at 6 billion dollars ...

Museum collections reveal a global range of Ophryocystis parasites in Danaus butterflies
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 552-564, June 2025.We analysed 2727 museum specimens from 61 butterfly species across 86 countries to document the occurrence and host range of Ophryocystis elektroscirrha (OE) and related parasites in milkweed butterflies. Ophryocystis parasites infected Danaus petilia (16%), D. plexippus (12%), D. chrysippus (11%), D. gilippus (4%) and D.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 303-318, May 2025.The information learned from discovered wild bumble bee nests can be of great conservation value if studied in situ and post‐season excavation in a standardised way. We provide standardised guidance to follow when nest discoveries arise, including key conservation questions and methodological guidelines to study behaviour, floral use, genetics, body ...
